About Dana

Most disputes never need a courtroom — they need one well-written letter on a lawyer's letterhead. I write demand letters, cease-and-desists, and formal responses as a side practice, at a flat fee quoted before I start. You tell me what happened, I send you a draft to approve, and it goes out signed.

Flat fees

These are the whole price. No retainer, no hourly billing.

Demand letter (debt, deposit, or unpaid invoice)
Typically 3 business days
$245
Cease-and-desist letter
Typically 3 business days
$295
Response to a letter you received
Typically 48 hours
$195
